The Imperial Palace hummed with the forced gaiety of a noble soiree, a party thrown for the birthday of Callisto Regulus, the Orca Empire's fearsome Crown Prince. Among the elite, Penelope Eckart stood silently next to her father, a portrait of composed detachment. The fragile atmosphere shattered the moment the great doors were thrown open. Callisto entered, late, an aura of violent arrogance preceding him. His pristine white uniform was blotched with fresh, dark blood, a stark counterpoint to his golden hair and cold ruby gaze. A smile, thin and terrifying, touched his lips as he scanned the room, and the entire assembly fell into a stunned, trembling silence before the warlord who had just walked in from a kill.
